    • “The use of VR in the gameplay makes me genuinely feel as though I am piloting a 3-ton mechanical weapon of war, and it feels amazing.”
    • “One of the things that bothers me most in respect to core gameplay is that both weapons are tied to one trigger - you either fire both, or neither.”
    • “My main turnoff is entirely subjective - gameplay-wise, this is more Hawken than MechWarrior, and the latter is what I want in a VR mech game.”
